Rowdy pipey motors, light and nimble too. Really a kick to drive.
All Saab 9000s have their known troubles;
Digital Ignition Cassette
Heater Blower Motors
Motor Mounts
92s, however have a few problems all their own;
The Traction Control System (TCS) was a common problem with the 92s'. Also, a batch of soft balance shaft sprockets made it into production in '92, causing vibration problems and left untreated, complete motor failure.
These problems can run serious $$$ to sort out, if you're paying a mechanic to do the work.
Overall, you're getting a pretty good deal: A clean low mileage '92 with a new clutch for essentially 'wheel & tire' money.
Recognize also that you're getting a project. Any 12 year old car is going to need some work and a '92 9000 will very likely need more than most.
Good Luck.
